11 May 1963
Concert:
Imperial Ballroom, Carr Road, Nelson, Lancashire
The Beatles picked up right where they had left off, performing in front of 2,000 ecstatic fans.
"We love this, yeah, yeah, yeah! This framed photo card was signed in person by all four Beatles on May 11, 1963, when the group was backstage at the Imperial Ballroom in Nelson, Lancashire, England, north east of Liverpool. According to one of the LOAs, the signatures "were obtained by the police officers on duty for their dressing room security". The publicity/promotional photo card itself measures 3.5x5.75", while the entire framed piece measures 11.5x14". John, Paul, George, and Ringo have signed their names boldly in dark blue ballpoint pen; these are some of the nicest autographs of The Beatles that we have ever seen. The photo card's condition is EX, while the signatures average an 8/10. With a piece like this, we know you should be glad! Three LOAs."
